Guangzhou Xiguan Fengshen: Stay in a Lingnan Aesthetic Guesthouse in a Republic of China Mansion

Who would have thought! Staying in a century-old mansion of a Republic of China tycoon in Guangzhou✨ This MEILIE Ling Guesthouse has reinvented the old arcade buildings with a brilliant blend of vintage and modern styles! The location is the essence of old Guangzhou! 📍Fengyuan Road, Liwan District, a 5-minute walk to Changshou Road Metro Station, 3 minutes to Yongqingfang, and 10 minutes to Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street. Downstairs are clusters of morning tea shops and dessert stalls; waking up to the aroma of rice rolls in the morning and strolling for late-night snacks is super cozy. You’ll be amazed as soon as you open the door! Originally the residence of Chen Jitang, the door panels and Manchurian windows are well preserved, with colorful light casting on the wooden furniture, perfect for photos. The courtyard hides a Japanese dry landscape garden, the vintage spiral staircase is perfect for shooting Republic of China style photos, and the terrace has rattan tables and chairs—so soothing to enjoy the breeze and street view. Room details will delight any enthusiast! Dyson hairdryer + Marshall speakers, LELABO toiletries with intoxicating scents, some room types feature fireplaces and window-side bathtubs. Smart guest controls are super convenient, the bedding is soft, soundproofing is excellent, and you can sleep peacefully amid the city buzz 🤩. The butler service is so thoughtful it’s almost unfair! Upon check-in, you get a handwritten guide, they can book hard-to-get morning tea spots for you, and even offer free photo shoots. There are Cantonese late-night snacks and a fusion of Chinese and Western breakfast served morning and evening, and the courtyard bar is perfect for a little drink 🍸. If you want to experience authentic Guangzhou, staying in this century-old Western-style mansion is just right🌿
